Red Dates and Dried Longans Drink


The weather outside had been outrageous lately. Sometimes it rains, sometimes, it's scorching hot, and most of the time, it's hazy. I needed something that is cooling but that improves blood circulation as well. Moreover, healthy.
So, I made myself the following drink:

Red Dates and Dried Longans Drink
What you need:
8 red dates (coreless)
1 cup dried longans
Rock Sugar
10 cups water
Directions:
1. Rinse dried longans with warm water.
2. Boil dried longans and red dates for about 30 mintues. Add rock sugar and boil for anoter 5
minutes
3. Serve hot or chilled. (I prefer them chilled)
This is such a soothing drink! It's especially suitable for one of those hot, humid days.
